A very similar "how to guide" can be found here https://ampcode.com/how-to-build-an-agent written by Thorsten Ball. In general Amp is quite interesting - obviously no hidden gem anymore ;-) but great to see more tooling around agentic coding being published. Also, because similar agentic-approaches will be part of (certain/many?) software suits in the future.
